Chapter 178 The Ancestor of the Wuji Sect

The three of them quickly returned to normal, and Jian Wu rubbed his cheeks, trying to make himself less noticeable.

Shen Xu laughed and said, "You're too late! We've investigated, and it should be an eighth-order great demon in human form."

"Where is the great demon?"

"We didn't find any trace of it; it must have run away immediately."

Who was the first to arrive here?

Zhao Shizhe chuckled lightly, patted his chest nonchalantly, and said disdainfully, "Oh, Cheng Lie, who are you interrogating like a criminal?"

"What? You think the show is so good? How can you juniors be so clueless?"

Fu Buqi raised an eyebrow nonchalantly and said impatiently, "Get out of here, there's something I don't want you to hear."

The four bowed, turned, and left.

After walking less than ten steps, I was stopped by a transparent barrier.

“Why are you leaving? Since you’ve all been with your ancestors for so long, there’s no need to avoid us. After all, it’s the same whether you’re here or not. If you leave, people will say that I, Cheng Lie, don’t have the same tolerance as the three of them.”

Tu Shan narrowed his eyes, and seeing that Mu Sen and the other two were making a move, he turned around as well.

"Lanlan, A-Lu, can they detect your location?"

A-Lu: "Don't worry, I'm hidden in your hair bun, and I'm the same color as your hair. You can't tell at all unless you look closely."

Lanlan: "I'm examining the other side of your hairpin. As long as they're not behind you, they won't notice at all. Even if they do, they'll just assume you accidentally bent it."

"That's good. Hide well and don't let them find you."

"Sister, with our current strength, we don't need to be afraid of them."

"I know there's no need to be afraid, but one fist can't fight four hands. As long as they don't do anything to harm us, we don't need to expose ourselves. Playing dumb to take advantage of them is a good idea."

Tu Shan turned her head nonchalantly to look outside the barrier, where Ji Se, Geng Yu, and the others had successfully reunited.

Ji Se saw Tu Shan silently shake her head at her.

Based on their years of tacit understanding, she looked at Geng Yu and the others without hesitation.

"Alright, with so many big shots around, there's nothing for us to do."

Seeing this, the others obediently followed her away.

Tu Shan turned to look at Cheng Lie, whose expression was unclear.

Is this guy crazy? The other three elders didn't say anything, but he detained all four of them by himself.

What are you trying to do!

"Cheng Lie, why are you stopping them? You don't actually think they have any clues on them, do you?"

"I suspect something's wrong?"

Zhao Shizhe glanced at him: "Of course not! You are questioning the abilities of the three of us. Besides, they are from our three sects. What right do you have to stop us?"

He then raised his hand to release the restriction and said to Mu Sen, "You two get out of here. Let's see who dares to stop me today. Anyone who wants to stop me will have to get past me first."

"Young man, you go with those two."

Fu Buqi tried to lean on Cheng Lie in a rather frivolous manner, but Cheng Lie dodged away.

Shen Xu kindly advised, "Alright, you guys should leave quickly. This is not a place for you to stay. Fellow Daoist Cheng, you've made things difficult for me."

"Don't go too far. Your divine sense has already scanned the area inside and out many times. Even if you don't trust us, you should trust yourself."

Cheng Lie said, "Hmph, what are you saying? When have I ever made things difficult for them? I was just thinking about their safety and wanted them to leave quickly so they wouldn't say I was bullying the weak and taking advantage of the weak."

Mu Sen and Tu Shan walked in front, while Rong Lu and Jian Wu walked behind.

Tu Shan ignored the sinister gaze and curled one corner of her mouth into a smile.

I hope you won't disappoint me.

Once the four of them had disappeared into the crowd in the distance, Tu Shan realized that the gaze was no longer fixed on her.

Keeping an eye on her is actually a good thing; at least it can prove that she didn't do anything wrong.

To avoid framing her if something goes wrong.

Thinking of something, I shrugged. Maybe it wasn't a frame-up, maybe I really did it, but who can prove it?

"Let's go find Ji Se and the others."

Cheng Lie watched the four people leave, his expression slightly somber.

Don't be fooled by one being glib and the other nonchalant, showing no desire to speak.

He turned to Shenxu and asked, "Who was the first to arrive here, and what did they see? Have you asked them?"

Zhao Shizhe completely ignored his question, patting his chest and looking up at the sky, then at the ground, then at the distance.

Fu Buqi took out a five-meter-long bed, lay down on it with his hands behind his head, and looked up at the sky.

Shen Xu, with a smile on his face, glanced back and forth between Zhao Shizhe and Fu Buqi, and said, "I arrived just a moment after you. What you see is what I see."

Cheng Lie snorted coldly: "So you've been here for so long and haven't found anything? Why did I feel that little girl was very strange just now?"

"Of course something's wrong. She's the number one genius of our Lingyun Sect, no, the most talented person in the entire Misty Continent. A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator under twenty years old. Have you ever seen her before?"

I've never seen Cheng Li before, and I've never even heard anyone mention him.

If I had known that the Lingyun Sect had such a person, I should have acted sooner. That good-for-nothing Liu Buhuo didn't even report such important information.

However, a genius who hasn't grown up isn't a genius.

Only at the Nascent Soul stage!

"Alright, my time is precious. As long as I know what happened, that's enough. I'm sure that great demon has left. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my sect to cultivate. A storm is brewing!"

Zhao Shizhe yawned and disappeared from the three people's sight, leaving behind a single sentence.

"Anyone who dares to lay a hand on the number one genius of my Lingyun Sect will likely face a fight to the death, and a fight to the death is inevitable."

All three people present knew he was serious.

Fu Buqi stretched, tidied up the bed, and sighed, "I thought there would be some good show to watch. After all, the Misty Continent hasn't been this lively in many years. I didn't expect to arrive so late and not get a single thing. It's a waste of time. I might as well go back to the sect and sleep."

Just as they disappeared from the spot, Shen Xu and Cheng Lie were about to say something.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two bodies fell from the sky, creating two ten-meter-long, human-shaped snow craters.

Shen Xu and Cheng Lie were horrified.

Their cultivation levels were similar, and the two disappeared for less than three breaths, yet they exhaled far more than they inhaled. How could they not be terrified?

The two quickly pulled the person out and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"Pfft!"

Two soft "pfft" sounds.

Fu Buqi and Zhao Shizhe tacitly spat at Cheng Lie.

Cheng Lie waved his hand and knocked away the black blood.

Fu Buqi: What a pity, I didn't let that treacherous villain suffer.

Zhao Shizhe: It's such a pity that such a good opportunity was almost wasted by this ruthless old schemer. It's such a shame.

Shen Xu caught a glimpse of their expressions and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

Cheng Lie knew, of course, that the two were doing it on purpose, and he secretly resented them.

"It's nothing serious, just poisoned and temporarily unable to use spiritual power. If the poison isn't cured, he might only have a year and a half left to live."

Zhao Shizhe waved his hand dismissively, saying that life and death were predestined.

"It's really not a big deal, just crippled. Half a year of lifespan is not too short, and a year of lifespan is not too long."

Fu Buqi lay on his back on the snow, covering his head.
